I ventured down to the big smoke today, well, Adamstown anyway, and went to the Newcastle Lapidary Club Open day. I dragged my Mum along and we both had a ball. I have finally found somewhere to learn my next craft – wire wrapping. Anyway, just outside their club I spied this street art on the building next door. I couldn’t help but take a quick shot with my new Panasonic Lumix point & shoot which I always have with me! I am not unimpressed with the result!

One last image from my shoot down at the Newcastle Ocean Baths. Once again, a very textural shot. With the bath being empty, I was really intrigued by this grated inlet. I loved the reflection and all the texture & colour in the concrete. You can even see oyster shells behind the grate, very cool.

Continuing up the hill from the ocean baths, I stopped to wander around Christ Church Cathedral. I have wanted to shoot this church for ages, it is such a majestic building. I love that it kind of looks over the city, and you can see it from afar.

I was driving in the small streets of East Newcastle when I noticed some really great graffiti in an alleyway (not that I condone it, but I do appreciate decent street art!). But it was what I found above it that really caught my eye. I don’t know what they were thinking putting doors in at this level, but I guess when opened inward, some great light would be let in! I love the textures in this image. This must be architecture of another time, you wouldn’t see this type of thing today I’m sure!!
